Hey everyone! I just encountered a couple of frustrating issues while trying to install the latest SharePoint 2016 patch for CVE-2025-53770. Firstly, after successfully running the EXE on my SharePoint App server, I couldn't get it to install on the Front End server because it kept saying the patch was already installed. However, SharePoint Configuration Manager confirmed that it wasn't. I ended up importing the patch into WSUS, and that did the trick.
Secondly, I was following the directions to rotate the ASP.NET keys, but I couldn't find the 'Machine Key Rotation Job' in Central Administration under the Monitoring section. It's just absent from the job list, which is odd.
Lastly, I'm confused about something called SPWebApplicationPipeBind mentioned in the PowerShell instructions. It seems like a basic SharePoint term, but I could really use some clarity on what that is. If anyone can help me figure out these issues, I'd really appreciate it!

For the installation problem, instead of using IIS bindings, try getting your site URLs through the "Get-SPWebApplication" command. This will help you find the right base URLs for your SharePoint web apps much more accurately than editing bindings in IIS. I hope that clears things up for you!
Thanks. You saved me. That worked.
Thanks again. I feel dumb for missing that and appreciate your help.
